A member of the court is responsible for the statement that there will probably lie two opinions and whi\o lie did not go to the extent of indicating on which side the majority would write the opinion on that side which would be the opinion of the court, while some members of the minority would express the opinion of tlie other side and there would probably be

IRON WORKERS HAPPY.

Amalgamated Scale Signed and an Increase «S"

Wages Granted.

PITTSBURG, May 14.—More success attended the battle of the Amalgamate 1 association for higher wages and recognition of that organization yesterday. At the Vesuvius iron works Moorehead Brothers granted tlie workmen in all departments the Amalgamated scale. The increase ranged from 10 to 15 per cent.

As a result of the visit of President Garland ol" the Amalgamated association to Youngstown the men in the Valley mill were all given the union rate and they returned to work. The men at the Union Iron and Steel company's works were also out on a strike because they thought they were not receiving the rate paid in the cotton tie mills of Pittsburg. Mr. Garland convinced them they wer6 mistaken, and the strike was declared off.

"Whirlwind," t.he Cheyenne Chief, Dead.

WICHITA, Kan., May 14.—"Whilrwind," the head of the Cheyeiine Indians, is dead. He dropped dead on hearing the news of his favorite grandchild's death. He was probably the wisest and bravest Indian chief of recent years, in fact, the century. His phenomenal speed in striking the enemy at different and widely separated places in quick succession was what gave him the name of "Whirlwind." Ho came from a royal stock on both sides, his uncle, on the mother's sfde, being Black Kettle, whbm Lieutenant Custar killed at Washita fight. His death will create quite a change in the policy of the Cheyenne tribe, and from now on the young men will govern.

MILWAUKEE, May 14.—The schooner Quickstep, which left Milwaukee light for Manistee Sunday afternoon, tried to make the harbor at Sheboygan yesterday afternoon, but failed.

The Quickstep is believed to be a total wreck and is not covered by insurance.

TAX DECISION.: COMPENSATION.

l'robably Not Jiflt»r Materially From vile J'revioiis One.

May 14.—It is learned

definitely that a conclusion was'reached at Saturday's consultation of the supreme court, and that it is confidently expected to have the opinion in the case ready for announcement next Monday. ]Xo authoritative statement as to which way the decision will be can be secured of course, but all that can be learned goes to indicate the upholding of the law

independent indi

vidual opinions as before. The present intention is to make the opinions comparatively brief. They will cover only the questions left undecided in rho first decision as to whether the void provisions cover the whole act, whether the act as it affects incomes from personal property as such are unconstitutional because it provides for direct taxation of them and whether the tax is invalid on account of want of uniformity. The understanding now is that Justice Harlan will prepare the majority opinion sustaining the law.

»nswill

If the recent decision of the court is sustained next Mondaj", as is now regarded as altogether probable, the delinquents will certainly be proceeded against as rapidly as possible, and it is thought that tiie 50 per cent penalty imposed by tiie law will not be remitted in any case. It is asserted that the persons who have failed to make returns have done so with a clear understanding of the law and in many cases have refused to comply with it on legal advice, preferring to take their chances of being compelled to pay tlie penalty.

SHOT WHILE ASLEEP.

A Wiwnsin State Senator Killed by His distress in St.. Louis. Si Lot is, May 14.—State Senator Peter li. Morrissey was murdered while asleep in bed about o'clock yesterday morning by Maud Lewis, at her home, X-'TJ Wash street. The woman sent a 33-caliber bullet crashing through Morrissey's brain, placing tiie muzzle of the pistol against the sleeping man's left eye before palling the trigger. She also shot him in the mouth.

And bid me think no more upon her.

Say I fell ill or lame or blind, The counsel of her friends would move hor Kegretfully to prove unkind

But these things happen not—that is, Not in such sort as frightens Helen— Whereas her dear small prudencies

PUPPY L0YE.

I was 19, and pretty Lois Tanner was three years my junior. Sweet 10! Is there in all this world anything sweeter? There may be other sweet sixteens, but the comparative degree of the adjective in this connection has grown rusty from long disuse, and sweet 10 remains positive in kind and superlative in degree.

And Lois Tanner was 16. From the first day of our meeting— we were the children of wealthy parents and wero summering by the sea—some intangible influence, somo inexplicable force seemed to draw us to each other and to ran the lines of our lives parallel For two years wo had known each other, and one day—it was the third summer after our meeting—we sat on the rocks by tho shore, and as the waves beat in rhythmic measures upon the silver sand stretching out at our feet I looked into her sweet blue eyes and knew that Lachesis, as slio drew two threads from Clothio's spindle, was twisting them into ono cord, forever indivisible.

Li early youth how far the eyes, uudimmed by years, can seo into the future, and how keen is young lovo to decipher the handwriting on tho wall! "Lois," I said as wo sat there in tho fading twilight, "do you know how long we have known each other?" "Does it seem long, Mr. Beldon?" she replied, with a coy little smile.

"It has been two entire years, Miss Tanner,'' said I, falling into her mock formality of manner. "And one learns a great deal in two years,'' she added. "In ono direction I have learned nothing, Lois," I said, with a quietness I did not feel. "Why, Jack," she exclaimed, "I don't see how you could stand stilL "But I have," I insisted. "How?" and her eyes looked her football

guilelessness. "In loving you, Lois," I broko forth, "I couldn't love you any more in a thousand years than I loved you after our first meeting.'' "Oh, Jack," she cried nervously, "what made you say that?"

Why shouldu't I say it?'' I answered, with a dogged resolve not to be put. down by any woman's whim. "Because, Jack," she said very earnestly, "papa has been saying all along that you and I were together too much, and tho first thing the family knew there would be a ease of puppy love to cure. "Did your father say that?" I asked, with the anger showing in my face. "He did, Jack, and lie says"— "Well, I don't want to he ir what he says, or lias said, or will say," I interrupted. "If he says anything like that,

The dear little woman laid her hand on my arm restrainingly and smiled with such irresistible sweetness that I even forgot the wound my own father had given ma ''Let it go, dear,'' she pleaded ''They have forgotten they were ever young.

The shadows wero growing into a deeper purple, and the waves took on the mellower shades of the evening sky. The night wind, just rising, tossed Lois' golden hair about her smooth white forehead, and tho pink of tho sunset brought a rosier glow to her cheeks..' I' brushed my hand across :#y eyes and looked into her face. "Do you remember what I said a few moments ago?" 1 asked, returning to the previous subject. "What did you say?" she replied, trembling a little, 1 thought, for she surely could not have forgotten so soon. "I said, darling"—it was the first time I had over called her that, and it almost frightened me—"I said that there wad ono thing I had not learned in the last two years, and that was to love you better than I did when I first met you. Do you think I should have learned?" "Perhaps, Jack," she blushed, "if you had, you would have gone ahead of me in the class."

he doesn't know what he is talking about know I love you, audi know I love you and hasn't the most remote idea of what a man truly in love with the one woman in all tho world for him feels. "He ought to know something about it,'' Lois said hesitatingly. You know, Jack, he has been married three times. "That's just it, I growled "He's grown callous. Ho thinks because I am not 100 years old I don't know my own heart and am irresponsible into the bargain. If it weren't for you, Lois," I added, ameliorating my wrath to a slight extent, "1 wouldn't have a man like he is for my fr.ther-m-law any circumstances.'' "Papa isn't so awfully bad, Jack," she said in extenuation of the paternal weakness. "I never thought he was either until you told me what you have,'' I admitted. "But, Lois," and I grew hard again, "you must know that no father who regards the future happiness of his daughter can take the position he does and assume to dictate the course of two lives which in the nature of things must be independent of his. "Papa says your papa said the same thing and agreed with him thoroughly," she replied, arguing as women do. "Lois," I said in my firmest tone, "don't speak to me of your father again. If you do, I shall be tempted to do him some bodily injury.

"Oh, Lois," I began to say, and then Btainmered and grew red in the face. I

could feel the blood fly along my neck, and my hands shook so I could not have put them out to her if she had asked me to. I had never spoken of love to a woman, and now my inexperience was painful to me. I knew that the brave man could win a triumph now, but I was not brave. On the contrary, I was a coward, an arrant coward, and in my fear

slipped down off the rock where we had been sitting and walked out upon the sand.

"Where are you going, Jack?" she called to me. ''I don't like to be left here all alone. I'm sure Charlie Verder. wouldn't treat me like that.

That was enough to set me wild. Verder was the one fellow I dreaded, and he hadn't known her six months either. I went back to the rock and stood at

the

foot of it, just near enough to touch

the

hem of her gown—such a sweet, white gown, with a bit of blue showing through it as tho blue sky peeps in and cut from the fleecy white clouds. "Do you like him?" I asked sullenly. "Not any more, I guess, than you like Mattie Swann," she retorted, with a perk of her nose and a shake of her fluffy hair.

(L:'"

"Then you like him pretty well,"

"Lois, Lois

I she gave no 1 away from me it rapidly. Bu not cat "Oh

said in woroo humor than ever, and quite insistent upon nagging her all I could, "Perhaps I do," she snapped, "and, if I do, I'm cure he is a very nice fellow. "Not any nicer fellow than Mattie Swann is a girl,'' I put in as meiui as

knew how. "Well, I don't care," she said as she slipped off tiie rock and touched the sand as lightly as a thistledown. "I'm going home, and when you get me to come away off down here in this lonesome place again at this time of day, or any. other time, I think you'll know it.

Then she started off along the beach toward tho row of cottages. It was a mile or more, and I thought I would keep within call, so I let. her get some distance ahead of me. I poked along behind, gazing out to sea and wondering where all the beauty of the purple shadows had gone, and why it was the waves looked so cold and cruel and clammy. They were the M'mo shadows, and the same waves, and there I was, and—hut where was Lois? $jfty yards up the shore and hurrying along as it she wero afraid of twilight ghosts orv? other strange inhabitants of the crepuscular air. I looked over my shoulder nervously, and all around, and shivered. What it was I don't know, but on the instant I called to her and went after mv call as fast as I ever ran after a*

of pretty surprise as I came up panting® by her side, "how you friglitenod me! I had no idea you were on the beach thisfe evening.'' a

Think of that, and still her fathers having the temerity to talk abut puppy love! If that wasn't, full grown mastiff & sarcasm, I'd like to know what it was. & But I was not to bo thwarted by a woman's whim now, any more than I was* in the beginning. "Oh, Lois, Lois," I pleaded, though® I puffed as I did so. "Don't talk like a that. We are not children to let a trifle como between us and our lino. Yon

I was about to take her luuid and more |g tenderly urge my claim to an answer,

wlian she gave a slight scream and spriing to one side as if she had.stepped on a mouse in the sand.
